Fallout: New Vegas & Fallout Television Series (SPOILERS FOR BOTH) (sh.itjust.works)

In the sixth episode of the show, we found out about Shady Sands' fall in 2277. Four years before New Vegas starts. This retcons New Vegas. No one in the NCR talks about how their capital got nuked in NV. In the quest You'll Know It When It Happens, the president of the New California Republic visits the Hoover Dam. Why would the president visit the dam after the capital got attacked? Hell, why is the NCR still in the Mojave Wasteland? It doesn't make sense. So yes the show does retcons New Vegas.

IGN had an interview with Todd Howard and brought up the confusion and he said the events of New Vegas are canon and that Shady Sands was bombed after 2281. The sign outside Shady Sands in the series also refers to it as the first capital of the NCR, which would imply there's at least one other.

Here's the screenshot with nuke on the board. I don't see an date with the bomb. The only date I see is "Fall of Shady Sands 2277" so yeah.

Sorry I'm late to this, but the board suggests the destruction happened some time after 2277, not that it happened in 2277. The fall of shady sands apparently is before the bombing.

New vegas has been confirmed canon by bethesda.
